Abstract
In this paper, an optimization problem of 2-way ribbed slab or waffle square slab has been solved using a hybrid variant of self organizing migrating algorithm, C-SOMAQI. The main objective of this problem is to design a 2-way ribbed waffled slab of dimension 10 m * 10 m with optimum cost of steel as well as concrete. The design variables of 2-way ribbed waffled slab are taken as the effective depth of the slab (j), ribs width (p), the spacing between ribs (b), effective depth of ribs (d), and the area of reinforcement. Various population based techniques are available in literature to solve optimization problems. In this paper, a low population based hybrid technique C-SOMAQI has been taken to solve this problem that provides the solution at an optimum cost. To validate the claim, this problem has also been solved theoretically and a comparative analysis between these two solutions has been made. The study concludes that C-SOMAQI provides better results as compare to theoretical method.
